Today, I received the final piece of puzzle that my boyfriend of two years has been sending me through the mail for the last week. Turns out, it wasn't a love letter like I originally thought it was. He was breaking up with me via a puzzle through the mail. FML

dynalda tells us more.

For clarification, the first part of the letter, which I had pieced together, sounded like it was going to be a love letter. He was talking about how love was a puzzle and usually the pieces fit together perfectly, but sometimes it takes a little bit of work and effort to put together. Then he started talking about our relationship and all the fun times we've had. Then came the last piece. He ended by saying that our puzzle was a waste of time and should have been left out on the table unfinished, where hopefully the pieces would get lost and the puzzle could be thrown away.

How many pieces was the puzzle? Cause, how did it take you until the very end to realise it wasn't a love letter? On the upside, you've just given me an awesome idea for a love letter.

lmao @ #16. Excellent point! OP: This now ex of yours sounds like a sadistic, spineless piece of rubbish. You should be thrilled to be rid of him. Seriously though, how did it take you until the final piece to figure this out?

You're better off. He sounds like a real dick.

That's not creative. He's a coward. Guys like that need to man up and be straight up with their girl... unless you guys are in like 5th grade, then it's whatever.

Those must have been some huge-ass pieces if it took you until the last one to realize you were being broken up with. Either that or you didn't even look at it because you just assumed it was a love letter.

Haha, pretty funny but what an asshole. To #58: He's being creative in a cowardly way.

Why put in so much effort? Kinda mean :(

Ohh I misread it. I thought he had been sending you the puzzle for two years. Thankfully I caught it in time to change my comment. Phew. Wow, that's really lame. It took you until the last piece to figure it out?

Breaking up is not the time to be creative. Did he go ass-backwards and give you the "We need to talk" when he asked you out?

Isn't ass backwards the correct way?
